Founded in 2001, Avery Galleries is a relative newcomer to the gallery world. The principal, Richard Rossello, spent the first part of his career in an entirely different entrepreneurial business pursuit; however, he was ultimately motivated to form Avery Galleries by his enduring passion for American fine art. The gallery was founded on two guiding principles, and they have become bedrock beliefs of the company. First, was to manage the quality of the art sold by purchasing it outright rather than taking art on consignment. Second, Rossello only buys paintings that he would want to own personally. These tenets have helped Avery Galleries to establish a reputation for consistent quality in the works of art offered.
